[GNC] Advanced Portfolio Report - Fund managment fees

[hal.lol at tutanota.com]

Right,and I can agree with this. It is just a bit confusing because that'sa “realized gain” not subject to taxation (AFAIK), wheras if the moneyended up on my account instead, then it would be.
But taxationis not my concern for now, and I can live with that. What I reallyneed to figure out is how to add this to the brokerage fees.

> While I have no comment on how to get the Advanced Portfolio Report to categorize your fees as such, I will note that when you sell a commodity—regardless of the reason for which you sell it—you will have (in most cases) a capital gain element. The gain is there, even if you immediately turn the proceeds over to another entity. So, it seems to me you should enter a sell transaction, complete with gains information, and then enter a transfer to brokerage fees as a separate transaction. I don’t know how the report handles this.

I would like the opposite: the money out should be added to the 'brokerage fees' (it goes to an expense account after all), and I shouldn't see any 'realized gain'. The total return and return rate should of course also be updated accordingly.
